Abstract
Obturator hernia is rare, and is diagnosed as part of the occlusion examination. It is very common in elderly, thin women. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult, but CT is a major aid to etiological diagnosis. Treatment is surgical (emergency laparotomy). Any delay in treatment increases mortality and morbidity.
